I help connect people to grow communities, companies and the people inside companies. 

I have over 25 years of experience in improving business operations with SAP and other industry technologies, as an Independent SAP Community Evangelist, Connector, Analyst, and Advisor. I am passionate about inspiring others to get excited about learning, change, and technology, and I uphold the values of integrity, authenticity, kindness, knowledge, and growth.
